Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seemingly taken over the world. Certainly not the way we expected, with Terminator robots and Matrix plug-ins, but it's taking over nonetheless.

Between ChatGPT, Open.AI and other large language models, America has become dependent on these robots, but how far is too far? Arizona may have found it.

Issues Arising in Arizona

Sure, the number of the calls is declining, but the severity in those calls has jumped drastically. There's been about a 50% increase in cases that landed patients in hospitals, meaning that something's giving folks wrong information on how to treat their illnesses. You'll never guess what it is.

AI is NOT a Doctor

Turns out, people trust a machine that's only been active for a few years over their doctors who have been in the profession for decades. It seems that people have been going to AI apps like ChatGPT and Google Gemini and asking for advice before consulting their doctor, which is NOT a good idea.

Instead, they recommend calling the Poison and Drug Information Center at (800) 222-1222, which is vastly more reliable and just as convenient as AI, not to mention you'll be talking to a person who actually knows what they're talking about as opposed to a machine that's just making educated (or more likely, less than educated) guesses.
